Smith wins
Fremont 305/SOD Challenge By Brian Liskai FREMONT, Ohio (May 22, 2004) - Earlier in the week, Fremont's Brian Smith guaranteed a victory in the 305 sprint/SOD 360 sprint challenge at Fremont Speedway. He backed that up, taking the Bobby's Auto Repair/Minnich Trucking 305 sprinter to victory. In the 410 sprint A-Main Millersburg, Ohio's Rob Chaney took the lead from Shane Helms on lap 11 and then survived a last lap challenge from Fremont's Mike Linder to win the Roots Poultry feature. Over 84 SOD 360 and Northern Ohio 305 sprints signed into the pit area as the Sprints On Dirt organization was making its first appearance at "The Track That Action Built" since 1988. That forced eight heat races and four B-mains to be run to make up the 24-car field. Fostoria's Jamie Miller jumped into the early lead from his pole starting spot, with Millbury's Andy Shammo taking the top spot on lap 6. Smith, who started fourth, took the lead on lap 10 of the non-stop 25-lap affair, and powered to the victory over Shammo, Scott Miller, Dustin Keegan and Miller. "When I made that guarantee, I should have said 'God willing,' but after winning at Attica last week, this team has had so much confidence that I just had to say we were going to win. I have to thank Bobby Sears and Brian Minnich for all they do to give me such a great race car," said Smith, whose victory was his second career Fremont win. In the 410 feature, pole sitter Shane Helms jumped into the early with action being halted for a Brandon Martin tip-over on lap 9. When the race resumed, Chaney, driving the Stan Courtad sprinter, used the bottom groove to get around Helms and set sail. Meanwhile, Linder was moving up from his 13th starting spot to take second with 15 laps remaining. Linder whittled away at Chaney's lead, as the leader got bottled up in lapped traffic. With two laps to go, Linder pulled to within two car lengths of Chaney and was right on his bumper at the checkered. "I heard another car coming... I knew I just had to keep my
line. I got behind Matt Lucius and he was running such a good groove on the
bottom. I knew I couldn't move up to lap him or I'd get passed," said Chaney. "I
have to thank Stan Courtad for continuing to believe in us even after we'd At the finish is Chaney, Linder, Fremont's Bobby Clark, Mark Keegan (up from 12th) and Alvin Roepke rounding out the top five. The Buckeye Cable Sports Network taped the shows and will broadcast them on cable systems in the Toledo and Sandusky areas on Sunday, May 23 at 10 a.m. and 8 p.m.; Monday, May 24, at 7 a.m.; Wednesday, May 26, at 12:30 a.m.; and Wednesday, May 26, at 5 p.m. For more information log onto www.BCSN.tv.
